In November 1998, one of the greatest Danish building projects in recent years opened, the addition to Statens Museum for Kunst. It is a building addition with a long history. Already in 1902, the museum complained over insufficient space, but almost 100 years was to pass before an addition could be realized. This book is about the first museum, Dahlerup’s museum, the numerous curators’ problems, the competition in 1992, the realization of the project and an evaluation of the result. The leading characters are also portrayed: The building project’s architect, Anna Maria Indrio, and the museum curator, Allis Helleland.
